    Prichard looks like he should be a member of Dokken with that hair. This was a fun David vs. Goliath sort of match, although it was disappointing to see Gilbert adhere to the stip. If he really wanted to emulate Lawler, he'd have thrown a fireball at BBJ and hit the bricks

    Finally, a trios match from Mexico that seems worthy of standing alongside the Dangerous Alliance and Misawa/Jumbo matches. I dug this a ton, but, then again, it's five of the best in the world along with Mike Lozansky, and it's not like Lozansky does anything to kill the flow (although he seemed to take his sweet time finishing off Hamada in the second fall).

    This was great stuff, Rude went above and beyond to make Pillman look good, especially selling his leg, and giving Pillman a few close near falls, but manages to take the opening and eek out the win.

    It's sad that Barry will be mostly remembered, if at all, as the jobber who patted himself on the back. He was great here, showing a bunch of personality and looking pretty good in the ring. I don't think I've seen anyone break a sleeperhold the way Barry did. Fun finish with Barry seeming to have it won, only for it to slip away. He came from ahead to lose.

    This was an interesting promo. Paul E. reminds everyone that he used to sit in the booth and praise the Steiners as the best team in the world, and Anderson laments to "JR" that he thinks there's something wrong with the world when people with college degrees can't get jobs. In the story of his career, Bobby stays in the background and says nothing.

    Flair and Savage are both great, Hogan and Sid, much less so. Honestly, Sid didn't even really threaten Brutus all that much, it was Flair and UT who were prepared to do some damage.

    I wonder if any of the TV jobbers ever left when the lineup sheet was posted and they saw that they were booked against the Moondogs? These two fare just as well as everyone else has.

    I've watched a bunch of the 1992 SMW season set, and there are several Wright promos in this vein, and they're all great. I agree with Cox that part of the greatness is that Wright had been such a dastardly, mean, person for so long, and that fans in TN tend to have long memories so they didn't exactly feel sorry for him.

    Like Cornette, this seems rather edgy for 1992, especially the Dusty impression and how a bunch of the boys in the fed are there because they wouldn't kiss ass.

    I didn't get a few of the references he made, but the Magic Johnson and Pee Wee Herman ones were understood. This seems rather edgy stuff for 1992.

    I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Typical, for the time, WWF goofiness, but not nearly as goofy and corny as Austin and D'Lo Brown doing 1-800-Collect.

    Maybe it's because I'm not very familiar with either of these two, but I just wasn't feeling this. I could recognize cool things, like the near falls toward the end and the insane spot when Salvaje propelled Sevilla over the top, but I just wasn't into this all that much.

    Brad Armstong talks about this match in his ROH Shoot interview, and how much it impressed Hase that the crowd got behind him as much as they did. The Hase/Brad exchanges are definitely the highlight for me, with Hase stiffing Brad with slaps and damn near trying to amputate his leg. This was a fun match, with a really good finishing stretch. Mutoh and Hase wind up looking more lucky when they toss Norton to the floor and quickly finish off Brad.

    Lyger is apparently defending both the IWGP Jr. Title and the WCW Light Heavyweight Title here. This another great match, although different from the Honaga match in that Benoit worked more of a Lyger style than Honaga. They both pulled out some huge bombs, Benoit's dropkick from the top was especially nuts, but Lyger once again pulls it out in a clinch. This is the Benoit that was lacking in Mexico.

    Wow, the crowd seems almost apathetic when Rick tosses Vader and then drops him with the Steinerline. Sting does get a bit of a reaction when he slams Vader, but not nearly what he should have. Tony: Could you imagine a match with these two (Vader and Sting)?

    This was fun for what it was, which was mostly a five minute stall tactic to the big angle. I really dug Savage's axe handle to Jake while he was draped over the guardrail, and Jake's selling was reminiscent of when Savage did that to Steamer. And then, Savage tries to use the bell.

    This was probably the first time in my young mark life that I knew damn well what was going to happen before it did. Like Loss said, this is another prime example of asshole Hogan. Even the booking is kind to him, he gets the lame DQ win, and then gets to still make the superman comeback and run off the heels and stand tall. Sid couldn't even lay him out with the powerbomb to heat up 'Mania?

    I loved the line in Lawler's promo when he talking about Lee and the Moondogs looking at themselves in the mirror, and remarked that the Moondogs probably hadn't shaven a day in their lives. Two weeks in a row that Eddie Marlin almost got creamed by a Moondog chair.

    Embry is such a sleezy looking heel. Between this and the Moondogs, USWA seemed to be red-hot during this time. Now if only we could get a Moondogs and Embry vs. Lawler/Jarrett/DWB match.
  20. MikeCampbell
    I've only seen a little bit of Embry, in some '91 USWA where he was a heel feuding with Dundee. This clip alone is better than all of that combined.
  21. MikeCampbell
    I think this is the first serious promo I've ever seen from Koko. Why didn't he do this in the WWF?
  22. MikeCampbell
    This was typical Flair for him being all fired up, but the promo wasn't anything special, just plugging the upcoming tag match on SNME.
  23. MikeCampbell
    This was pretty awesome, with Lyger bringing his A game in the selling dept, even when he was the one doing offense. Honaga wasn't as flashy a heel as Ohtani would become, but he more than held his own.
  24. MikeCampbell
    This was a pretty good TV match, with Steamboat clearly in charge, but Austin following along nicely. There was a great moment when Madusa tried to interfere, but got thwarted, but Austin took advantage of the distraction to get them from A to B anyway.
  25. MikeCampbell
    This was solid stuff, nobody was bad, but only Hase was outstanding here. Did Chono and Hase team up much? I only know of this, and challenging the Steiners at a Clash.
